The '08 Movie Hierarchy

Why yes. Yes I was. THE STRANGERS was some scary shit in my opinion. The fright genre pared to its essence.

Name The Song That The Album Title Came From

Also, I had to listen to the album again to place it, but #1 is also an album by The Streets. It's title comes from "It was Supposed to be So Easy": 'So the shoebox full of money just disappearing from me is not what I call funny / A grand don't come for free.'

Musical Personalities Present on Listology

What about extreme metalheads? We're here too. Granted, the only examples I can give off the top of my head are hinterland, socialretard and (sometimes) myself. But still. :-)

Don't feel bad: Monsieur Kent was a good I'Net friend of mine for two years before I got it. I felt stupid too.

Also: Don't tell me RACE WITH THE DEVIL isn't a rewatch. Where are the slashes. Where.

I dunno about titanium, but I'll bet my liver's pretty well-exercised... :-)

Greatest Albums & Their Film Equivalents (in progress)

I'm partway through Parable of Arable Land right now, and while I can see Underground as a solid choice, Kusturica's craft is a bit too obviously aestheticized. The only film that springs to mind as an analog, for me, is Takashi Miike's Visitor Q. Alienating, strange, craft sloppy on first glance yet done with enough panache to indicate it's done as an aesthetic choice, gains power through simplicity and repetition, extremity covering for quivering graceful heart. Primitive, scabrous, hard to swallow yet beautiful.

BTW, what the hell. Where has this album been all my life. Where.

2007 movie ratings (ranked)

Dude. You did not just give Silent Light the same rating as Little Miss Quirkfest. That right there's a form of heresy, ya know.

Darktremor's bone to pick with "Scaruffi-ism"

Lorem: And all anyone else has contributed is as follows:

"THE BEATLES ARE THE BESTEST BAND EVER!"
"Eh, they're alright. There are other bands I like better."
"NO! THE BEATLES ARE THE BESTEST BAND EVER!"
"No, not really."
"YES THEY ARE!"
"No, not really."
Etc.

I figured a little obscenity would at least be something different. Shows what I f***ing know.

Also, to answer your previous question: Jabberwocky Superfly.

AJ: Thank you, sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

Don't discussions involve people talking TO each other rather than AT each other? I'm just sayin'...

Darktremor's bone to pick with "Scaruffi-ism"

Anyone who is on the Beatles forums knows Sean is a constant negative figure.

Does this look like a damn Beatles forum to you? Jesus. You're all shut-ins, aren't you?

Hey, when you're done jerking off, could ya throw that lotion over here? I got about 7,000 posts on the influence of Herschell Gordon Lewis that I'd like to crank out.
